Commercial Coffee Machine Maintenance: Key Best Practices

Regular maintenance keeps Contoso machines performing at peak levels and reduces costly downtime. Implementing daily, weekly, and monthly routines preserves flavor and extends machine life.

Daily Tasks

• Backflush & Clean: Backflush espresso groups and wipe steam wands after each shift.
• Empty & Rinse: Drain drip trays and rinse portafilters and baskets.

Weekly and Monthly Tasks

• Descale: Perform descaling on a scheduled cycle based on water hardness.
• Check Filters: Replace water filters to protect boilers and taste.
• Inspect Seals: Examine gaskets and valves for wear; replace as needed.

For the Optima 1000 and other complex units, schedule professional service quarterly or per usage hours. Contact Contoso Support to arrange preventive maintenance and priority repair to ensure continuous operation.
